The invention relates to an interconnecting node for use in interconnecting a passive optical network (PON) and a copper wire xDSL access network, wherein said interconnecting node comprises an optical network unit (ONU) arranged to be connected to an optical line termination (OLT) over the PON network; and at least one xDSL access device connectable to at least one user end xDSL equipment over the copper wire xDSL access network. The interconnecting node is characterized in that it further comprises a clocking interconnect between the ONU unit and the at least one xDSL access device arranged to distribute a clock signal obtained from optical network transmissions received in the ONU unit over the PON network to an timing reference input of the at least one xDSL access device. The invention also relates to a further interconnecting node, methods for use in interconnecting nodes, a central office optical network apparatus and an access network.

A first network node of a cellular system is configured for communication with a second network node over a twisted pair wire. The first network node includes a receiver for receiving, over the twisted pair wire, an intermediate frequency signal from the second network node, which intermediate frequency signal has been converted from a high frequency signal having a frequency higher than the frequency of the intermediate frequency signal by the second network node, and a down-converter for converting the intermediate frequency signal to a low frequency signal having a frequency lower than the frequency of the intermediate frequency signal. The first network node also includes an up-converter for converting a received low frequency signal to an intermediate frequency signal having a frequency higher than the frequency of the low frequency signal.

Method and transmitting node for adjusting transmission over xDSL lines connected to the transmitting node. The method involves transmitting (1006) a first signal A1 on a first line (304), and transmitting (1008) a second signal A2 on a second line (306), the second signal A2 being related to the first signal A1. The method further involves adjusting (1010) the transmission of the second signal A2 on the second line (306), such that a contribution from the second signal A2 interferes constructively with a signal A1′ at the second end (304:2) of the first line (304), where the signal A1′ represents the signal A1 having propagated through the first line.

The present disclosure relates to a Time Duplex Division (TDD) modem and a method in such a modem for making Single Ended Line Test (SELT) measurements. The device comprises a transmitter and a receiver and it has a normal mode of TDD communication. In these devices, Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) is used as line measurement. It has a number of drawbacks, and for overcoming said drawbacks, Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) measurement techniques adapted for TDD devices are suggested.

A device for limiting crosstalk between vectoring modems connected to a group of communication lines comprises a subgroup determining element that obtains information of the division into subgroups, each subgroup being made up of lines experiencing cross-talk from each other, and assigns operational pilot sequences to the group according to the division, an operational sequence transmission control element that transmits the operational sequences on the lines to the modems, which sequences are mutually orthogonal to each other and each communication line receives a corresponding sequence, and a corrective action determining element that obtains cross-talk measurements related to the transmitted operational pilot sequences and determines, for each subgroup, cross-talk and corrective action based on measurements made for a number of sequence symbols, which number corresponds to the minimum number required for obtaining mutually orthogonal pilot sequences within the subgroup.

Method and arrangement in a Vectoring Control Entity, VCE, for handling disorderly events in a Digital Subscriber Line, DSL, system. The method involves a number of actions, to be performed when a disorderly event occurs on a line min a vectored group of DSL lines, and the transmission on line m is continued. The method comprises obtaining (104) error samples from Customer Premises Equipments, CPEs, connected to other lines in the vectored group of DSL lines. The method further comprises—calculating an estimate of the channel coefficients changed due to the disorderly event, based on the error samples, thus providing a partial channel estimate. Further, the method comprises—modifying (110) a downstream precoder, at least partly based on the partial channel estimate, such that retraining of the other lines in the vectored group due to the disorderly event is avoided. The arrangement is adapted to enable the performance of the above described method.

The invention relates to networking in general and in particular to an improved packet timing transport mechanism. The present invention provides a method of optimizing timing packet transport in a network comprising a first network node connected to a second network node. The method comprises forwarding a timing packet received at the first network node to the second network node, and transmitting the timing packet from the second network node a pre-determined duration K after receiving the timing packet at the first network node.

Systems and methods for enabling different network nodes of a network access system to share a backhaul communication link are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes: connecting a first modem to a first node of the network access system; connecting a second modem to a second node of the network access system; connecting the first modem to a first port of a splitter filter; connecting the second modem to a second port of the splitter filter; and connecting a backhaul communication link to a third port of the splitter filter, which is configured to multiplex signals transmitted by the modems onto the backhaul communication link, wherein the frequency spectrum of the signal transmitted by the first modem does not overlap substantially with the frequency spectrum of the signal transmitted by the second modem.
摘要:
A method and arrangement are disclosed in a Vector Control Entity for enabling a fair bit rate distribution among lines of similar priority in a vectoring group, when applying partial vectoring in a DSL communication system. The method comprises calculating a rate balancing metric, RBM, for each line i within a priority group A, indicative of the ratio between the bit rate of a line i with a current vectoring resource allocation, and the estimated bit rate of line i assuming approximately no crosstalk within the vectoring group. The method further comprises allocating partial-vectoring resources to the line/s within the group A, based on the calculated RBMs, such as to reduce the difference in RBM between the lines. The method further comprises calculating an updated RBM for any line within the group A subjected to changes in vectoring resource allocation. The method may be iterated until certain criteria are fulfilled. The arrangement is adapted to enable the performance of the above described method.
摘要:
When data retransmission is used to handle errors caused by impulse noise, buffer memory requirements may be reduced and/or data rate increased by detecting impulse noise at the transmitting equipment and initiating retransmission in response to such detection rather than waiting for a retransmission indication from the receiving end. The decision to retransmit may be made dependent on the strength or other properties of the detected noise burst. The decision criterion may be made adaptive by correlating noise burst properties with received retransmission indications or the absence thereof.
